A Glorious Getaway, full of sunshine, family, friends and good food

We started our getaway with a night in Cambria at the OlallieberryInn

It was our second stay in the Angels Nook room at this charming bed & breakfast.


Our charming hostess, Marjorie Ott.









the lovely robe!


It's a little know fact that Cambria is the rubber ducky capital of the world.
Had to pick up a couple for Lila and Larkin.


An added bonus to a night in Cambria was dinner with friends from Newbury Park, Donna & Ken Day and their intelligent, handsome grandson, Michael.

We had to backtrack to Morro Bay for a visit to Lina G's, a vintage trim shop.
I'm putting my experience there in a separate post so I can share it with a wider audience.



Next stop: Nepenthe's
a must for us if we're anywhere near Big Sur.


We spent a non eventful night in Carmel. Don't particularly care if we return to the Vagabond Inn or Flaherty's Seafood Restaurant.

We headed up Hwy. 1 on Friday enjoying the sunshine and spectacular scenery.
Visits with family and chickens were a highlight of the afternoon.
Dinner with family Friday and airport run on Sat. to pick up Michael and Laurie.

New post for pictures of Carolyn and Alan's wedding.

we had the specialty-of-the-house at Nepenthe earlier this year - their signature BURGER. yum. did you eat there? (my mother took me there when I was between 6 and 7 grade, and I always always stop now). So sorry you didn't care for Vagabond .. we love it there, although this year we stayed elsewhere.
and was Olallieberry where you had the visiting SPIDER?! i almost died when that came over on my phone. YIKES.
great post, great photos, Ann.
